CLAPTON: LIFE ON THE EDGE

CHARACTERS, CONTROVERSY & CONSERVATION AS HISTORY MEETS NATURE BY THE MARSHES

Sometimes you just have to end at a pub!

From past controversy over Enclosure, to current debates on ecology, there’s more to Clapton than you might think. Once a Viking frontier, it’s played a key role in the growth of our city. From Harold Pinter to public health, Clapton is a place that’s seen – and continues to experience – change.

Yet the precious marshes remain a constant. Catch up on the debate on their future as development continues apace all around. Take in the canal and some fresh air in a special part of London and feel why greenery matters. If you’re a ‘twitcher’, bring your binoculars too – there’s a wildlife superhighway here!
